Updated Valve Design Addresses #1 Point of Failure for Valve

Noblesville, IN, December 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- In an effort to address the needs of the end users and increase the quality of their product lines, SMC has introduced an updated version of 2 port N.C. solenoid valves. The valve series (VX2) has an enhanced internal architecture that minimizes the opportunity for valve failure. It has done so by decreasing the area between the armature and the core tube.

By decreasing this area, the surface area where the highest instance of contaminant damage currently occurs is minimized. Therefore, the opportunity for contaminants to damage the area is diminished. “By addressing a known point of failure of our customers head-on, we believe we are adding significant value to our customers and further improving the quality of our valves.”

SMC hopes to continue to take advantage of their decades-long history as a leader in the pneumatic industry by developing products that directly address the needs of their customer base. The development and introduction of the VX2 valve series contributes to this effort.

Product Feature Details:

Suitable for air, medium vacuum, water or oil
Increased flow rate performance over previous VX2 series
Aluminum, resin, brass and stainless steel body options
Decreased noise (through inclusion of rubber bumper)
Reduced apparent power – up to 20VA over previous VX2 series
RoHS, CE and flame resistance UL94V-0
